My Joy

A routine run for a truck driver turns into a nightmare he can�t escape in this psychological drama from filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa. Georgy (Viktor Nemets) is driving a load of freight into Russia when, after an unpleasant encounter with the police at a border crossing, he finds himself giving a lift to a strange old man (Vladimir Golovin) with disturbing stories about his younger days in the Army. After next picking up a young woman (Olga Shuvalova) who works as a prostitute and is wary of the territory, Georgy finds himself lost, and despite asking some homeless men for help, he�s less sure than he was before of how to make his way back where he belongs. As brutal images of violence and alienation cross the screen, Georgy�s odyssey becomes darker and more desperate until it reaches an unexpected conclusion.
